Megan has many hobbies including playing basketball, traveling, and shopping. She has been playing basketball since the age of three. At the age of three, she participated in an organization called Happy Hoops. She then moved to the YMCA and participated on a team during her years before middle school. Once she got to 6th grade, she played for Showtime. She also played for Hoopla and Iowa Select for travel teams throughout her years. When Megan is not playing basketball, she enjoys traveling and shopping. Her favorite place she has traveled to is Hawaii. Megan said, “It was the clearest water I have ever seen.” She wants to go back and recommends everyone to travel to Hawaii. 

Outside of basketball, traveling, and shopping, Megan also is a lifeguard at two local pools in her hometown. She managed two lifeguard jobs at the Sioux City Country Club and the Lewis Public Pool. She enjoys lifeguarding because she loves being around kids and making sure they are safe. Megan also says it’s a plus being a lifeguard because she gets a free tan in the sun.
